There are numerous manufacturers and vendors for ceiling hoist lifts. When it’s practical for your patient census, it is less expensive to install ceiling tracking in more than one area and use portable hoist motors that can be moved room-to-room as needed for patient transfers and movement.

Oregon Workers’ Compensation System as a Funding Source for Equipment

The Employer-at-Injury Program (EAIP) is designed to encourage the early return to work of injured workers. EAIP is administered by all workers compensation insurers in Oregon. Insurers establish their own EAIP policies & practices. SAIF will pay vendors directly for EAIP equipment purchases. Other insurers require employers to cover the cost of equipment until they are reimbursed by the State of Oregon.

Eligibility & Benefits of EAIP:

1)Injured workers must have filed a workers compensation claim and be released for work with restrictions that prevent the worker from doing full-duty regular work.

2)​The injured worker must be doing “transitional work” which must be within the worker’s specific injury-caused restrictions.

3)$5,000 per injured worker for worksite modification and purchases of tools and equipment
